Wet Cement Press See other projects related to this listing. About Based in Berkeley, California and Asheville, North Carolina, Wet Cement Press has been publishing 4-8 books a year with a focus on poetry, hybrid books, creative memoir, and unusual fiction since 2019. Wet Cement Press was started by a group of writers who once lived and worked together in San Francisco. Our tastes run toward the lyrical and spontaneous, the raw and unsmooth. We are interested in writers & artists who are established in their craft but have not yet been recognized, perhaps because their work is not easily classifiable, or because it falls outside of current trends and approaches. We also support work by more recognized writers and artists that represents a departure from what they are generally known for. Important: Query first.
